DETAILS

After strengthening its balance sheet in the first quarter of 2015, Urban focused on increasing the number of residential buildings connected to its network and on customer acquisition during the second quarter.

Through a strong marketing program that monitors all phases of sales activity from initial outreach through tightly controlled contact activities, Urban has developed a standard lead development, sales process and customer acquisition model that has proven to be not only predictable, but in accordance with sales projections. This supports the thrust of current and future financing activities that are focused on raising sufficient capital to fund an accelerated program of building connections, which will in turn accelerate customer acquisition leading to profitability within a predictable time frame.

The Company incurred a net loss of $1,033,776 in the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to a loss of $397,879 for the corresponding quarter in the prior year. This increase in net loss was primarily due to increased operating costs for salaries, professional fees and travel expenses associated with the provision of the Company's industry leading 1-Gigabit (1 Gbps) services to both residential and commercial customers and expenses associated with raising capital.

Urban's CEO, John Farlinger stated, "After significant capital raising activity to strengthen our balance sheet and in proving concept, we have turned our attention to increasing our subscriber base as quickly as possible, and are very pleased with the results we have achieved to date. This has proven our model and shown overwhelming demand for our services. Although the results of this recent activity are not borne out in the revenues and profits of current financial statements, the investment and its return will be seen in future periods as we generate increasing revenues from this effort."
